Happy Sunny Morning to you all,
Hope you are all waking up to a lovely sunny day - Had a little spend in As*a last night - on bread, milk etc, came to about £5.00 or a little under - can not find the receipt so will wait for it to show on my food debt card.
Working 9 till 5 (burst into song) today and hopefully going to see a local band tonight if this hay fever calms downs a little -
can not believe the difference in my spends compared to last month, was totally over my budget and was spending like there was no tomorrow, this month well under at the moment..... (going to keep it that way - 12days till pay day ......

Didn't post yesterday as was without laptop until the evening and didn't really have enough time to post yesterday's spends. Had a spend of £32.50 which I'm pleased with as have allowed about £50 a week but have gone a bit over the last couple of weeks.
Should come in on or under budget this month as only a top up shop on Tuesday and another main shop on Thursday to do until payday and have about £60 left.

Morning all, my month started yesterday and on a personal front I spent way too much, need to work on that! I had an Asd@ shop and an Abe! and Co!e mini meat box delivered yesterday but the money hasn't come out of my account yet so as I spent nothing on groceries yesterday I'm calling it an NSD. Will update siggy with deliveries once they have left my bank account
Expecting a refund for substitution from Asd@, did well this time though as I ordered the 8 pack of wet wipes and it was substituted for the same price with 2 x 6 packs ^_^

NSD today. I went into Li#l's yesterday. No way I could stick to the list I had but got a few bargains in the reduced meats. Some boxes for the freezer and chicken pieces will be cooked today. Less than £ 100 left on this month's budget but I have done a bulk order and Approved foods this month. Lettuces in the garden are coming on which will reduce the salad bills!First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win - Gandhi0

Spends of £15.64 in Morrys and £16.85 in Te$co's - this increase was due to not being able to go to A1di this week.
Mum not too good at moment so spending a little more time with her but thankfully DH seems to have improved.
Non grocery spends have been on new shoes which in its self is a miracle as I HATE SHOES. Would go bare footed at all times if it was possible.MARCH £62.38/2500 -
